Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Cold medicine or ice cream, which to eat?"

Rin Tachibana blinked her bright eyes, paused for a moment, and then spoke in a soft voice:

"ice cream."

Tazaki Toru opened the ice cream lid for her, inserted a fork into it, and handed it to Tachibana Rin.

"You knew I was faking it?"

"know."

The girl pouted: "What? Then why did you come back?"

Rin Tachibana puffed out her cheeks and turned her head to one side, while Toru Tazaki silently watched the half-exposed ear of hers.

The girl's ears were slightly burning, seemingly because her lie had been exposed.

Tazaki Toru placed the cold medicine on the girl's bedside table, his gentle and soothing voice ringing in her slightly feverish ear:

"I knew early on that Miss Tachibana was a girl who was afraid of loneliness and had a delicate heart."

"Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that Miss Tachibana really has a cold, she will definitely long for someone to be by her side."

"And I knew it all along, yet I remained unmoved. Wouldn't that make me an ungrateful person?"

"Therefore, I am still worried about it no matter what."

Seeing you so energetic now, I feel truly relieved.

"At the same time, I also felt that Ms. Tachibana was incredibly troublesome."

"Well, anyway, I see you're in good health."

"That's wonderful."

454. When Yang is not around, Lin always manages to pull off amazing plays.

Inside the bedroom.

Rin Tachibana looked at Toru Tazaki with a serious expression and gently waved to him.

After a slight hesitation, Tazaki Toru sat down on the edge of the bed.

Rin Tachibana smiled serenely.

"Hey, now, whatever you say, I might agree to it."

Why is that?

Rin Tachibana puffed out her slightly flushed cheeks: "Don't you understand? Of course it's because you came back to see me and made me as happy as a child."

Not only that, but what Tazaki Toru said earlier seemed to have opened a hole in her heart, inserted a spring, and spun it around hundreds of times.

A constant stream of energy was being pumped into her heart, and she was afraid that she would lose control and that her bright red heart would leap out in front of him.

That way, he would know everything.

He had to know all her thoughts and feelings.

Just thinking about that scene made Tachibana Rin incredibly shy.

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and asked, "Anything is fine?"

The girl suddenly straightened her face and crossed the index fingers of both hands in front of her chest.

"It's so astringent."

Tazaki Toru laughed dumbly.

Rin Tachibana is a girl with principles.

Since I promised to be with Hina Aoki, how could I sneak off like this?

Even though Aoki Hina is a useless piece of trash who can't be of any use at crucial moments, Tachibana Rin has already decided that the three of them will stay together forever.

This is a matter of principle.

Of course, if Tazaki Toru insists on using force...

Lin Jie would probably just put on a show of resistance for a bit, and then she'd probably just let him have his way.

At least he could explain to Hina Aoki that she was forced into it.

Unfortunately, Toru Tazaki certainly wouldn't have grasped this meaning.

What a blockhead!

She thought bitterly.

His gaze shifted slightly, quietly landing on Tazaki Toru's handsome face as he silently pondered.

if……

If you could kiss him when he's off guard, and then smugly point out his many flaws, that would be a perfect opportunity.

This feeling can no longer be hidden.

"Miss Tachibana."

Rin Tachibana was startled, thinking that Toru Tazaki had seen through her thoughts, and stammered an "um".

After a long silence, Tazaki Toru slowly spoke: "I should also feel that this form of address is a bit too formal."

"Eh?"

Rin blinked blankly. Did she mean she was going to give me a nickname?

I don't mind, but Rin, please spare me.

If Tazaki Toru calls her Rin-chan, she'll be so upset she won't be able to eat for days.

"From now on, may I call you Miss Rin?"

Rin Tachibana stared blankly at the man in front of her, pondering the meaning of his words.

Was it just her imagination?

Why does this sound so ambiguous? We haven't even started dating yet, have we?

In Tachibana Rin's mind, if a boy says such things to a girl, he definitely has ulterior motives.

However, the man standing in front of her at this moment was Toru Tazaki.

"no?"

"I, I didn't say no."

"Thank you."

Tazaki Toru's smile remained calm: "I thought I was someone who didn't care about titles or such."

"But perhaps it is my current environment that has subtly changed my mindset."

"I have said before that I consider you and Ms. Hina to be family in my heart."

“When I was struggling financially, you generously gave me a place to stay and didn’t kick me out.”

"I, I would never do something so outrageous."

"I know."

Faced with Tazaki's faint smile, Tachibana Rin felt increasingly overwhelmed.

My heart is like a dancer whose rhythm has gone awry, beating wildly and erratically.

The girl could no longer look directly into Tazaki Toru's gentle eyes, afraid that if she looked at him again, she would fall completely into his vortex of tenderness.

She turned her head away and gave a soft hum, trying to appear calm.

"Your mouth is on your body. If you want to scream, am I going to sew it shut?"

Clearly, Tachibana Rin's words were a response.

She might not even be able to understand.

Why would Tazaki Toru have such thoughts after living together for just over a year?

Having been used to wandering in his previous life, Tazaki Toru thought that returning to his former home would give him a sense of belonging.

But when he learned that the sunroom, which symbolized his bond with his mother, had already been demolished, all his hopes vanished.

Now, that homeless wanderer finally has a place where he can settle down in peace.

It started with Mika Kohinata, then Rin Tachibana, and Hina Aoki.

These girls seemed to have cast a spell on him, turning back time and taking him back to the time in his previous life before his mother died of illness.

At that time, Toru Tazaki was always playing the piano and composing music.

Even when his mother was seriously ill, he remained the same.

In this life, Toru Tazaki wants to live a different way.

In his spare time, he would pause and carefully observe the people and things around him.

Tazaki Toru cherishes this ordinary yet heartwarming daily life.

Rin Tachibana secretly glanced at Toru Tazaki's profile, hesitating for a long time, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Does it perhaps you have something else to say to me?"

Rin Tachibana bit her lip lightly, but still managed to ask the question.

"Tazaki, are you... having problems with your family?"

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by what he said. He hadn't expected that Tachibana Rin was going to talk about this. It was probably because of what he had just said that she had overthought things.

Tazaki Toru slowly shook his head: "Perhaps the word 'estrangement' would be more appropriate than 'conflict'."

"A barrier..."

Rin Tachibana couldn't think about anything too complicated, and even if she did, she wouldn't know how to comfort Toru Tazaki.

She knows she's bad with words and always speaks her mind, saying things that are hard to hear.

Rather than offering empty words of comfort, Tachibana Rin had something else she wanted to convey to him.
